Synopsis:

For the purpose of this article, we decided to browse through the Audi-approved accessories list in search of add-on items that may either improve the way your S4 works or expand its range of features. Some of these items can be fitted as DIY projects, while others may warrant a visit to the dealership for installation.

1. Audi Universal Traffic Recorder

This is an extremely nifty piece of kit, which effectively turns your Audi S4 into a rolling movie recorder. The Universal Traffic Recorder (UTR) is essentially a high-res dashcam, can be installed either to the front of the car or at both ends, and enables remote monitoring in addition to its traditional dashcam functions. 

It can record up to 2.5 hours in a continuous loop on a removable SD card, or save the events leading up to a collision (as determined by the car’s built-in crash sensors), or record real-time footage while the car is turned on. To simplify matters even further, you can also access the UTR through a phone app, and even get a live view of your car’s surroundings while you’re away.

2. Boot Liner

It’s always a good idea to protect your car’s luggage compartment floor, especially if you’re planning on using it for family car duties. The genuine Audi boot liner is made of rubberised plastic for easy removal and cleaning, and incorporates a raised edge right around to prevent spillage around its sides. 

Its ribbed design helps keep the boot’s contents from sliding about, and its sturdy construction will allow you to load heavier objects into the luggage bay without damaging the standard boot mat. For a car with equal measures of sporting aspirations and practicality, this is a winning combination.

3. Rear Seat Entertainment Twin Package

Available for the latest Audi A4 and S4 (which are fitted with Audi Connect), these two removable touchscreens are mounted to the front seatbacks. With a variety of possible input formats and independent operation, those in the rear seats will be able to watch their own media and enjoy custom sound through the accompanying wired headphones. Bluetooth headphones are optional, and the screens can be used outside of the vehicle as well.

4. Roof Box

If your Audi S4’s boot isn’t large enough for your family’s needs, you can always invest in this stylish, lockable roof box. Mounted on the available roof rack (another added-cost option), the roof box is aerodynamically-shaped to add as little extra aerodynamic drag as possible, while expanding cargo capacity by an additional 360-litres.
